A bit too soft and sweet, with candied flavors of black cherries, chocolate and anise biscotti. Certainly offers lots of richness, but could use greater structure.

Exotic richness defines this lovely young wine. It displays the tannin-acid balance you expect from Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, plus the exceptional intensity of fruit characteristic of the vintage. Floods the mouth with concentrated cherries, raspberries, red currants and cola that, influenced by smoky oak, turn to white chocolate on the finish. But it’s totally dry.

Tough and weedy, a minty, hot wine with some sweet, medicinal cherry cough drop flavors. It’s an old-style wine from Brutocao.

This is a good Pinot Noir to introduce a Cab or Zin lover to the variety’s appeal. It’s elegantly silky and dry, with pleasing red cherry, red currant, cola, mocha, orange zest and anise flavors.

Soft, fruity and rather one-dimensional, this Syrah is direct in candied raspberries, cherries, licorice, milk chocolate and crushed black pepper flavors. The tannins are rich and fine, and the wine is entirely dry.

A fruity-sweet and soft wine, with candied flavors of berries, cherries and cocoa. Sweet oak adds even richer notes of vanilla and butterscotch.

A lush, flavorful Cabernet that offers plenty of richness. It floods the mouth with ripe blackberries, cherries, black currants and cassis, with hints of chocolate and mushu plum sauce. The thick tannins need a good steak to play against.

A fine, savory Zinfandel that defines Dry Creek Valley, and is easy to recommend. Shows the beautiful balance of a fine red wine, with the sticky tannins and briary nature of a great Zinfandel. It’s enormously rich in wild forest berry, currant, anise, bacon, pepper and sandalwood flavors, with a very long, very spicy finish. Drink now for freshness.

A lush, forward Zin whose fruity sweetness is accentuated by pairing with soft cheeses. Dry and soft, it offers flavors of briary forest berries, anise, black pepper and smoky sandalwood. A fine evocation of a cool-climate Zinfandel, although the alcohol is quite high. Drink now.

This is one of those high-alcohol, Porty Zins. With nearly 16% alcohol, it’s like a mocha chocolate drink infused with cassis, black cherries and raspberries, then sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. Thankfully it’s dry, which makes it worthy of recommendation.
